Fender conversion

[Dubstep Shep]

I say if you're gonna do it, do it the right way and buy the fenders and a 10+ bumper. I know it's easier said than done, but I personally wouldn't take shortcuts on something as noticible as this

Honestly I have zero intention of doing a 10+ conversion. I got the hood for free, so if I can make it work with a little bit of work and some paint, I plan on doing it. Otherwise I'm going to sell it.

Only if you plan on cutting out the bracing underneath and adding hood pins. These hoods are remarkably strong for being aluminum. Also, I imagine the contour across the hood is different as well. Chances are there would be way more work to make it fit than is worth it. But the only way to really know is to bolt one on.

What about heating them up and bending them? I can't imagine it's more than a few degrees difference.

I agree though, it seems as though I just need to bolt it on.

lol youll see the big ass gaps

Well fudge. I was really hoping it would at least be close.

I can't imagine it's THAT different though. The frames are identical.

And for the hood latch to be in a different spot, wouldn't the radiator support have to be different? If not I could just grab a newer hood latch, right?

i tried it already. youre in for a rude awakening. differences are huge

Ah well.

In that case, who wants to buy a 2012 Roush Stage 2 hood in Grabber Blue? Couple of smaller dents on the top but nothing gigantic.

If the conversion these guys are doing works out you should have no problem selling it.

I would be interested but waiting to see the results

Hahaha I could probably pad it and strap it down on top of mine if I was bound and determined.

At least we're getting an early start on Friday!

Behold, the first 2013 gt500 front end on a 05-09 car (that I know of).

Passenger fender is 95% done, driver fender is cut, welded and the first 2 layers of filler added. It's about 75% done. Everything bolts up like a factory car and lines up like factory.

Pulling the pics down for now, I may be looking at producing these and would like to patent my design.

Sweet! Mario approves!

 

[Dubstep Shep]

Damn that is beautiful...

Edit misread

 

[2L8IWON]

I wanna see it

 

[Dubstep Shep]

Patents cost A LOT of money. You're probably better off just producing them or selling the design. Just my $0.02

 

[KevDon92]

The only problem is yours would require the 10+ support

Thanks for the blue balls... OMG it was badass! I'd hit it!

No seriously.. the little fuckers in China will copy you anyway and some dope in SoCal will illegally license them.. the Chimerica way

Lol.. maybe this is it
